Last Updated: June 19, 2026

Introduction

Smart Task Manager ("we", "our", or "the Extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our Chrome browser extension.

• Task Data: Task titles, descriptions, dates, times, priorities, statuses, and any images you attach to tasks.
• User Preferences: Theme settings, notification preferences, and display options.
• Account Information: If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google.

2. Information Collected Automatically

• Local Storage Data: We store your tasks and settings locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API.
• Sync Data: If you enable cloud sync, your tasks and settings are synchronized to Google Firebase/Firestore under your authenticated account.

3. Information We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect website content
• We do not collect passwords or financial information
• We do not use analytics or tracking services
• We do not sell or share your data with third parties for advertising

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely for:

1. Providing Core Functionality: Storing and displaying your tasks, settings, and preferences.
2. Cloud Synchronization: If enabled, syncing your data across devices using your Google account.
3. Notifications: Sending task reminders and alerts based on your notification settings.
4. Image Search: When you search for task images, queries are sent to the image provider you configure (Pexels, Pixabay, or Unsplash) using your own API key.

Data Storage and Security

Local Storage

• All task data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's chrome.storage.local API.
• Data remains on your device and is not transmitted unless you enable cloud sync.

Cloud Storage (Optional)

• If you sign in with Google and enable sync, your data is stored in Google Firebase/Firestore.
• Data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS.
• Access is restricted to your authenticated Google account only.
• Firebase security rules ensure only you can read/write your own data.

Data Retention

• Local data persists until you clear it manually or uninstall the extension.
• Cloud data persists until you delete it or delete your synced data through the extension settings.
• Upon deletion request, cloud data is permanently removed from Firebase within 30 days.
• Uninstalling the extension immediately deletes all locally stored data.

Third-Party Services

Google Sign-In & Firebase

When you use Google Sign-In and cloud sync:

• We use Google Identity Services for authentication
• We use Google Firebase/Firestore for cloud storage
• Google's Privacy Policy applies: https://policies.google.com/privacy

You must provide your own API key for these services.
